Radio Society of Greater Bixby

Thursday’s meeting (Scott’s hamburgers 7PM in downtown Bixby) will focus first on whatever You bring in for Show and Tell, and then if there’s time before Scott’s closes (~ 8:15) and expose’ on repeaters, How They Work. Questions to be answered: Why are they so expensive, isn’t it just One receiver and a Transmitter with some wires between; What’s the big deal about cans (set of UHF cans pictured above – from the W5RAB sale); Why are some repeaters Split Site; Why do some repeaters use Two Separate Antennas; Can you really put the Receiver on the Same Antenna as the transmitter, and have 100 Watts on the same coax as a 0.1 uV signal into the receiver?
